Composer's Artistic Vision

Simon Emmerson, the album's composer, has been combining live performers and electronic resources in nearly all his works for over 50 years.

Recording & Production

NMC Recordings ensures that every recording they make is permanently available, making important music accessible to audiences.

Compositional Technique

The instrumental pieces on this album use a live sampling system that explores the evolution of sustained, evolving harmony from a solo line, which Emmerson hears as tone colour.

Composition History

NMC Recordings was founded in 1989 by composer Colin Matthews to address the lack of representation of living British composers in major recording catalogues.

Composer Biography

Simon Emmerson founded the electroacoustic music studio at City University in 1975 and was a founder secretary of the Electro-Acoustic Music Association of Great Britain (EMAS) in 1979.

Recording & Production

NMC Recordings, the label for this album, is an award-winning charity dedicated to recording and promoting contemporary classical music by UK and Irish composers.
